Alleged special to Detroit Tribune.
President and Mrs Cleveland rested fairly we'll
last night Before midnight Mr.. Cleveland laid
on his right side. but about ! o'clock he sighed
slightly and shifted his back. In opening
his eyes in the morning the loft lid raised trife
in advance of the right. At 8 o'clock this morn
ing Mrs Cleveland brushed q fly off the tip OF
her delicate The fly was of medium size
and fairly ambitious. The sty on Mrs. Cleve-
lan's eye has diminished slightly and all imme-
date danger seems to have abated The horrible
fear that it might prove to be pimple is now
pronounced entirely without foundation. 1t IS
plain, old-fashioned sty of pronounced demo-
cratic principles. Mrs. Cleveland bears up under
the terrible sufferings which 1t entails with I'M
fipchine heroism.
grace with a slightly nasal twang During the
progress of the duplication, President Cleve-
land watched fly which passed meekly over his
napkin, while Mrs. Clevelands gaze was fixed
piously on the top diamond in her husbands
shirt-front. No serious accident occurred while
the distinguished visitors were invertlng their
plates. The President chewed his beck
steak with an andante movement, while
the technique of Mrs. Cleveland was
notably pianissmo. Mr.. Cleveland sneezed
when about to swallow q mouthful of
red raspberres, and Mrs. Cleveland took swal-
low of coffee that was slightly above normal
heat, but it is now thought that by careful at
tention both will recover. The President ate a.
piece of rare beefsteak measuring eleven and
quarter inches in diameter. two rolls. dish of
raspberries, and drank cup and third OF cot

and she did tackle second roll.
During the meal the sly on her eyelid did not
visibly increase in magnitude. and she carefully
concealed the agony which it cost her from the
anxious gaze of her friends.
After breakfast, the President and Mrs Cleve-
land-and Mrs. Cleveands sty-all went out on
to the veranda. In passing through the front

against the casing, but she withstood tho shock
to her nervous system with the fortitude which
seems to be her ruling characteristic. The easy,

over three miles distant. The President came

While pacing to and fro on the veranda Mrs.
Cleveland dropped her handkerchief and
came 1877 miles on foot to pick it up and restore
it to the fair owner. He was rewarded a
ment later by seeing her apply it to the sty.
The man has since declared his intention of
voting the straight Democratic ticket. During
the forenoon the President and Mrs. Cleveland
passed down the front steps and walked three
times across the yard. The grass walked
was chiefly white clover. although occasional
spear of red-top was brushed in passing. Once
stepping a pebble between the size of pea
and hickory nut, but her presence Of mind
in stepping off again unquestionably saved her
life. It is not thought that the accident in
creased the size of the sty. The bearing of the
couple in the yard made many
Democratic votes in the adjoining county.
